Response To NAB Repacking Study

The duration and cost of Repacking is a serious issue deserving of careful consideration. Hopefully, market response to high demand for tower crews and antennas will stimulate more supply than a static analysis would suggest. As far back as a blog post in April of 2014, one of the authors of the NAB study referenced the possibility of slowing the repack to sync up with the transition to ATSC 3.0 (“The Weekly Riff”, Myra Moore, April 28, 2014).
